“The project is a fun idea which broadens the appeal of The Beatles and their music,” McCartney said in a statement. “I like people having the opportunity to get to know the music from the inside out.”

Starr added: “The Beatles continue to evolve with the passing of time and how wonderful that The Beatles‘ legacy will find its natural progression into the 21st century through the computerized world we live in. Let the games commence.”

Ono said: “It’s cool. I love it and hope it will keep inspiring and encouraging the young generation for many decades.”
